The revitalization of existing properties is a growth market. A total of 80 percent of commercial and residential buildings in Germany are more than 25 years old. Many of them are in need of renovation and are therefore no longer attractive to potential tenants. Such buildings are often situated in city centers and are grandfathered. Both of these conditions offer advantages that new buildings can't match.

Building diagnoses from HOCHTIEF provide a holistic assessment of properties. Our expert teams consisting of construction managers, architects, commercial specialists, and specialist planners carry out detailed analyses of buildings and their development potential, whereby their overall objective is to optimize your existing property. To this end, we also offer customized service packages. The modular design of our building diagnosis system allows customers to remain flexible at all times. It all starts with an analysis of your property's location. Next, we examine its condition in order to determine how energy-efficient it is and whether its technical processes are operating economically. We then develop utilization concepts and present options for optimization or revitalization. If you wish, we will also provide you with an energy certificate that includes legally required information about your property's energy efficiency.

HOCHTIEF's building diagnosis system creates added value through networking, as it brings together the expertise of various units, thereby providing you with expert service from a single source throughout all the phases of holistic analysis, strategic development, and optimization. Such consolidated expertise cannot be found anywhere else in Germany. HOCHTIEF Property Management analyzes the property's location, market situation, and efficiency, and develops sustainable utilization concepts. Asset Management Services provides key information to help you with decision-making regarding revitalization, while experts from HOCHTIEF Construction examine the structural and technical condition of your property and assess the possibilities for its development and optimization. HOCHTIEF Consult then draws up new concepts for a sustainable architectural design, the load-bearing structure, and the technical building equipment.
